Richard and Chris, I have always had a 50' spool of excess (unnecessary; length-wise) clear and fairly rigid tubing between the pump and my surge tank. Like Chris mentioned, the coil of tubing will act as a surge tank. I was able to confirm the be...

Nice clip, Acman3; nothing like a good tenor battle. A couple of thoughts that relate to recently discussed subjects:Completely unimportant period instrument trivia: Craig Handy is playing a Selmer MK6 tenor and Joshua Redman a Selmer "Balanced Ac...

Richard, glad you enjoyed the tracks. Chris, times truly have changed; but, maybe it's all just less subtle now. Truth is that in many ways they have always had the power and control. They can turn us into mush with a look from those Beth Hart eye...

****as nice a(s) the equipment is.****; and as the ET2'r babe so nicely demonstrates. I'll bet there's some passion for music there! Jazz, in particular. Huh, you say? Look up the original meaning of the word as used by musicians :-)Slaw, I guess ...
